WARNING: This episode dives into the darkness of the psyche and will be highly triggering for some people.
For others, this will be a profound and life-changing episode as it shines light on the harrowing aspects of the spiritual awakening and coming into individuation.
Although this episode is quite intense and has some sections which may feel disturbing to listeners, I felt it was important to share so that women who are going through the individuation process understand what is happening and how to handle it.
The individuation process is a psychological process of coming into Wholeness, Oneness, Inner Union and can often occur spontaneously during a spiritual awakening.
